Spinal surgery can solve problems with back pain.
But, it should be approached knowing the proper

5 tips for preventing back pain

• The right sleep environment can make all the
  difference in preventing back pain. One option is
  to put a small pillow between your knees when you
  sleep. This will help keep your hips in-line,
  avoiding lower back stiffness.
• Good posture is very important in preventing back
  and neck pain. Always be aware of your posture
  and try to choose a firm backed chair for
  sitting.
• If you exercise regularly, be aware that your
  shoes need to be supportive. Replace running
  shoes every 6-8 months since they are made from
  soft materials and flatten after repeated use,
  causing your foot to lose support, which in turn
  will cause back problems. Consider buying
  orthopedic inserts for your shoes, these will aid
  in proper foot support, reducing back strain.
• Lifting and bending the wrong way can cause your
  back to hurt. Always bend your knees when picking
  something up, dont bend at the waist.
• Get regular exercise. Focus on strengthening your
  back and abdominal muscles to create a healthy,
  strong core. Please consult your doctor before
  beginning any fitness routine.
